Tyke and the Elephant Angel
ISBN-978-1484072721
​
A children's story of heavenly proportions inspired by true events and told through colorful illustrations and rhyme. This story focuses on Tyke the elephant's journey to Heaven. It does not highlight her violent death. Please enjoy the spiritual journey it takes children on with her as there could be no other way to describe a 'happy ending' to her story.
A percentage of net royalties are pledged by the author to be donated to The Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) sanctuaries in memory of Tyke to care for rescued elephants.
Inspiration was drawn from Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, most noted children's book authors. The cover art has a bit of Marvel Comic feel to it.
Delta the Dancing Elephant: A Memoir
ISBN-978-1490973050
​
Delta’s story is told in the first person narrative coercing the reader to anthropomorphize, to empathize, and to put themselves in her shoes, so to speak. An Asian elephant whose family was killed in the 1930’s, she takes you through seven decades in the life of an individual who is normally not thought of twice: a performing elephant.
Throughout the account are hints of time and history sugar coated by music. Character names are hybrids of real-life noted elephants and elephant-noted people, presenting the reader with a challenge to see and think beyond mere words.
From the same children’s book author who was compelled to pen Tyke and the Elephant Angel, this fictitious memoir is designed for young adults and up.
It may seem like 'Black Beauty' (Anna Sewell) meets 'Forrest Gump' (Winston Groom) with a twist of 'love story within a bigger story' formula.
